It had taken quite a bit of grumbling, but after some persistence she had been granted access outside the den. The bright sunlight stung as she emerged from the darkness of the cave, but the warmth felt nice on her pelt. The wound on her back that crept down to the right side of her shoulder was plastered with strong scented herbs, and even though she was no longer inside the cave, the smell of herbs followed her around like a shadow. She moved carefully, not wanting to disturb the scab that was forming. The last thing she needed was for Berryheart to change his mind and not let her outside the den until she was fully healed! She was certain that she would explode if she had to be that confined.
A particularly sunny patch nearby caught her eye, and she would make her way over to it on three paws. She carried the right paw up off the ground, partially wondering how Sunfreckle did this on the daily...and so efficiently. Right now, she felt as though she would topple over if she limped too fast! Definitely don't do that!
As she arrived at the sunny spot, she would awkwardly shift her way downwards. Her muscles still ached, but thankfully her throat and chest didn't hurt quite as bad as they had before. The warmth on her pelt felt great on her aching body, and she felt herself begin to relax more than she had the past few days. Her gaze scanned the camp, before finally coming to rest on the entrance to the clearing. Sleep was tugging at her mind, but she couldn't sleep...she didn't trust Riverclan to not come barging in for round two. If they did...well..at least no one would have to be worried about being dragged into the river.
The first few nights after the battle, she couldn't recall her dreams. She had slept so heavily and so much that it had been just blackness. Last night however...she had kept waking up. Each time she closed her eyes, she was flung back into the roaring waters, and tossed around like sand.
